The Beachland Ballroom will become string-band-a-topia this Saturday, November 6, when Trampled by Turtles and the Infamous Stringdusters descend for the night (the show will be a part of a stringband weekend to which the Beachland is offering special package deals that include a Friday night show from Cornmeal and Railroad Earth). These bands are like two sides of the same coin. The Infamous Stringdusters offer up a polished stringband sound in the tradition of classic Grand Ole Opry mixed with the longform solo proclivities of the jam band genre (NTSIB normally detests noodling, but when said noodling is done on banjo, fiddle, mandolin and steel guitar, somehow it doesn’t seem so bad). Trampled by Turtles is the faster, more immediate, slightly more ragged cousin to the Stringdusters’ sound – it’s stringband music with a rock ‘n’ roll heart. (You’ve likely heard, and loved, their song “Wait So Long”.)
We’re really looking forward to this show, and the videos below should show you why.
